Check your fluid condition and level. When did you last do a fluid change. May be worth starting there before digging deeper. Any engine codes or lights?

Glad it worked out. Many times fresh fluid is all that is needed, additive never hurts. Not sure what transmission you have, but if you have a measure dipstick pull it and see its color now as a reference and look at it every 10k miles or so.
